I'll start this off by saying - I have a little knowledge of antenna and scanner/frequencie knowledge, but I do know a lot of the terminology is over my head or confusing. With that being said, I have the BCT15x in my vehicle with a small dual band inexpensive antenna from Amazon currently...

I am getting a SDS100 for use in and out of my vehicle. I need a recommendation for the rubber duck antenna. I am monitoring the AIRS p25 phase 2 simulcast system in the Birmingham area. Ideally the rubber duck antenna will be as low profile as possible without suffering a major performance...

Hello engineers I have a question about a log-periodic printed antenna For feeding through a coaxial cable and creating a balloon, where the shield is soldered to one side and the core to the other, Should the shield be soldered to the end of the stripline path to the board? I saw in some...

I have a Zenith Transoceanic, model A600. I recently replaced the Wave Magnet's 300 Ohm antenna lead-in wire, and noticed that the loop windings on the antenna's core are wound differently at either end. On the end where the lead-in wire is soldered to the loop, the windings are consistently...

So right now I have a Bc125AT and I am going to get an sds100 soon. I want to have an antenna on my car so I can achieve extended range. I like the “ghost” style and sharkfin style but I am open to having an actual antenna. I know that the roof of my car has the highest range so ideally I would...

I’m just starting out listening to shortwave radio, and I have a 15’ length of 14 gauge, insulated, braided wire strung in the attic of my stucco construction home. But the roof tiles are made of 1.5” thick cement – how does this impact my reception? Should I even bother with an attic antenna...

I need to know whether the radio receivers that are highly sensitive, like having sensitivity less than 0.0224 micro volts for AM reception, encounter less fading than the others with less sensitivity? Which specification of a radio receiver is responsible for mitigating fading?

Hello everyone! General question: Is the telescopic antenna that came with the SDS200 radio have good range compared to a dipole? Backstory: My SDS200 is connected to a 50ft low-loss 50ohm cable connected to a dipole. I live in Eastern Kentucky ( Letcher County ) and range and reception is...
